Historical Characters in "The Eight" about Haren and Eunuchs


Before turning to writing, I would like to salute all those who visit and have visited Gentehistoria. I've missed.

After a long absence with moments justified and many others will take up undue work on the blog with a post about some historical figures "Eight."

"The Eight"
is a novel published in 1988 and since then widely read and sold in several countries. As you know, relatively little is published the second part: "Fire" and "eight" then, buevo turned into fashion.
Well, I read these two books recently and I preceded my interest as in the first several historical figures are introduced with great skill, in my opinion.


will outline some of these characters:

Charles Maurice de Talleyrand :
A major character in the novel and real political influence very interesting that I think is reflected quite well in narrative. People who have read the book know that Talleyrand is presented with a physical defect. If your biography leis discover that in real life was a strange disease than the defect mentioned in "The Eight."

Marat
is one of the villains of the novel. Is portrayed as cruel and bloodthirsty. As the other characters moves between reality and fiction of the novel, since it is triggered by one of the greatest tragedies of this book.
Charlotte Corday This is my real favorite character in "The Eight." I love the book version. Marat's killer is in reality but not in fiction. The chapter on the death of Marat is worth reading.
Jacques-Louis David
: uncle of one of the stars and in reality a painter tied to the French Revolution. A highlight of this character in real life was a friend of Marat and Robespierre not only as it does in the novel.
One part of the novel that most horses are closely reality and fiction is when you see this artist portraying her niece and companion of this in the central action of "The Rape of the Sabines " .
Ironically, of course, who is also the author of "Death of Marat."

there are many real characters in the book, Robespierre, Napoleon and his family, etc. But it is the past I've wanted to highlight.
